I’m trying to write a ClientSide callback that can throttle how often a ServerSide callback gets called by some custom logic. If this was a ServerSide callback, I would raise dash.exceptions.PreventUpdate, but that isn’t available in the ClientSide callback. I can throw an error, but this clutters t…

no_update is on the python side still. I’m wondering what I can use on the javascript side to be in effect no_update. For now, I continue to just throw Exceptions. [image] flyingcujo: no_update

Raising an exception / throwing an error is the way to go right now. no_update nor callback_context has been provided for the ClientsideCallbacks yet.

Hi chriddyp, Thanks for confirming my suspicions. I’m still struggling to properly throttle the calls back to the server. Mostly because we can’t make ClientSide callbacks that don’t return anything, IE they mutate the DOM. There might be a way to do this with a Promise, but those don’t work as wel…

Hi chirddyp, Is it still the case that callback_context is not available in clientside callbacks? If so, do you have any suggestions for an effective workaround for this clientside? I’m using a store component as one of the inputs and need to know when the data in the store has changed, otherwise, …

I’m not sure if this helps, but maybe you could try something like this: app.clientside_callback( """ function (input1,store1) { if (input_is_not_what_youre_looking_for(input1)) { return store1; } return process_input(input1); } """ Output("output","data"), [Input("input","data")], [State…

I had a similar problem these days and solved it as shown below. The value of a slider is talken as the input to a throttle routine which outputs to a hidden <div id='slider-output-throttle'> only if some time has passed, otherwise I send no_update, which is meanwhile defined for clientside callbac…

[image] jd58: Is it still the case that callback_context is not available in clientside callbacks? This was recently added in Dash 1.13.0 :tada:

Will there be an official debounce/throttle mechanism in the future? My hack works nicely, but it’s still a hack…

Callback-level throttling is definitely a great idea. It’s not on the definite roadmap right know though. That being said, we would accept a PR that would add it or would build it more near term out if an org sponsored the work ( https://plotly.com/products/consulting-and-oem )
